 Finding stuffed 1MZ-FE

Anybody know someone, or somewhere I could get a blown (up, not supercharged) 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6?
I'd like to do a trail fit in my engine bay, and also a trail fit of a GT4 gearbox to the engine.
Alternatively, does anybody know someone who allow their engine to be pulled out (at least only to trial fit the gearbox)

there are plenty of blown up ones around - only problem is the importers typically sell motors on a c/o basis, so if you get on well with a toyota importer....
easy to get in NZ (which does not help us either.....)

hi jamie,
they have the same bore & stroke as a 1uz -so they probably are!!
from what i have gathered, bosto f the c/o motors are due to spun bearings - typically people not changing oil, and driving the car too hard when it's cold (hire car anyone?)
i know that windom's (lexus gs300 over here i think) are easy to find in nz wrecking yards (there were a couple in one last august when i was over there) pity they are not so easy to find over here!!
now - gearbox. i think you need the donor 1mz box bellhousing, as the casing is supposedly the same as the e series sw20 gt & gt4 box, so you can swap the bellhounsing over - this is something that needs to be confirmed of course by extracting the correct info from one of these american or asian guys who has already done this conversion.
